- Blue Ridge Parkway - As we drive along the parkway, you’ll notice spots on the road where you can pull your vehicle to the side. These overlooks are designed to spotlight the mountains’ most scenic vistas. There are over 200 of them along the whole Blue Ridge Parkway! \n\nEach one features a large wooden sign that lists the name of the mountain or ridge you’re looking at, and your current elevation. It’s nice to give a little personal touch to the otherwise anonymous and similar-looking mountains that you drive through.
